Dear Judy;
I had never heard of the Wallace Tripp nursery rhyme books, but our library
system has Granfa' Grig had a pig and other rhymes without reason
, so I will check that out and take a look. It seems like there are a lot of
them, and it doesn’t appear there are any in the collection. I am so backlogged
I really shouldn’t even check it out, but you have piqued my curiosity.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Valerie
